Background
Sea Shepherd engages in conventional protests and what it calls direct actions to protect such marine wildlife as seals, dolphins and whales. Direct actions have included scuttling commercial fishing vessels while in harbor, disabling and of vessels in harbor and at sea, boarding of whaling vessels while at sea, and seizure and destruction of drift nets at sea. Sea Shepherd has also conducted an intense media campaign against Japanese whaling and the Canadian sealing industry in particular.
